Anyone watch Most Haunted, I have never seen the live ones but I have been watching the ones on FTN

I watch it most nights, the new ones are on sundays and Tuesdays on Living TV at 9pm and the older ones are FTN at 9 most nights. Most haunted Extra follows this program at 10 and goes into more detail about the program before.

I don't like the live ones as much because they keep going back to the studio to see what every thinks about the very little paranormal activity that is happening.

Most Haunted is good for a laugh - great entertainment, but little else.

Every slight bump and rattle is considered paranormal and induces a fit of hysteria in Yvette Fielding, and the experiment set-ups are sloppy and unscientific - have you noticed how many times they are table-tipping lately? Check it out next time they do - the table always mysteriously tips towards Derek Accorah. Speaking of whom, did you catch the live New Year's Eve broadcast? It was huge fun when he collapsed in a trance/dickie fit and started gabbling "cockadoodle-doo". Hilarious. For some reason they cut that section out of the editted show when it was repeated.

The live shows always leave me wanting to drive the coffee table through the tv screen. The invited studio parapsychologist talks perfect sense and dismisses most of the night's events because they rightfully can't be considered paranormal, and the cretinously gullible studio audience boo him for spoiling their fun. I think they shipped them in from the Trisha show.

And did you see the live August broadcast from the RAF airfield? After an interview with some pendulum-swinging dowser dude, he claimed that the hidden bunker he was dowsing for was "right here" - he said this whilst stood in front of a whopping great tank. The viewers were then asked by the podgy bald big-eared producer (can't recall his name) to phone in where they thought the bunker was - and we were shown a selection of locations on a map, one of which was bang next to a whopping great tank. He nearly wet himself half an hour later when 75% of the viewers opted for the same location. Guess which one?

Great entertainment, but incredibly dumb.

Ant, you and I think alike on this subject.

I've been interested in the subject of the paranormal for more than a decade and as a result have spent a great deal of time reading up on the subject and following investigations into the phenomena that abound.

Unlike most who would call themselves believers and rubbish the claims of mainstream science, I have never claimed to be psychic or sensetive, and I have never experienced anything that I could describe as a paranormal experience short of being ****-scared in the woods at night.

My partner and I have watched the series from its inception and over time our open-minded approach has been eroded by the often farcical antics of the Most Haunted crew and their resident "sensetive" Derek Accorah. The number of times that I have been reduced to tears of laughter at their bumbling attempts to conduct scientific research are legion.

The live events are an even bigger debacle. Web-cams that reportedly record thousands of sightings are never investigated or the footage they capture studied, people calling in to say that their dog is acting up or their lights have gone out are treated as though they had concrete proof of ghosts exisiting.

The live studio presenter is a strange chap who constantly assails the poor tame sceptic with claims that he must be convinced by what amounts to less than no proof. On one occasion the poor sod was asked his opinion of the random noises that constitute the phenonena by the producer of the series. When he said they could have been made by the crew the guy attacked him verbally and asked what possible motivation he could have to fake the noises...despite the fact that the very act of making sure their investigation produced such noises would ensure his tv show attracted an audience and was renewed for the next season!

Most Haunted is a mainstream Program and there fore has to be entertaining, Who wouldwatch it if it wasn't for Derek's antics and the silly woman sreaming at every little thing. This program has to be taken tongue in cheek and not at all taken seriously.:D

You never see anything happen!

A few rats running round the cellar of an old castle or something
-and its enough to set Yvette 'Off on one!'

And as for these 'Orbs.'
Why is it only Digi-Cam's are picking these up??? lol

plus I fancy one of the girls on the show lol

That'll be the newest one. She could investigate my anomalies any time. (That was weird! The ghost of Benny Hill just rushed into my room and typed something on the keyboard...)

Does anyone remember the very early episode - may have been the Drury Lane theatre location. It's one of the few things on the show that caught my attention. Yvette and three other members of the team were filming a shot down a long corridor at the end of which was a doorway, followed by a spiral staircase. All the team screamed and ran from the door as they reached it, and all reported the same thing: a pair of legs walking up the staircase with no body attached.

Also the cobweb "orb" (I hate that word) emerging horizontally from a mirror. Very odd.

I see it as a bit of a laugh because nothing realy happens but everyone still gets hysterical, though lately the table tipping has been quite impressive.

I'm not a believer in all that stuff, and Most haunted is not convincing me I should be.

Ant
03-12-2004, 19:30
though lately the table tipping has been quite impressive.

Nooooooooooooo!

Nick, surely not? Please tell me that was sarcasm!

The table tipping is the biggest joke on the programme. Tape the show and watch carefully the finger positions. It's so obvious when the table is clattering about at it's peak that Derek is giving it some elbow grease. I'm sure that when the table does keep moving when Derek's hands are taken off that Karl Beatie is helping the show along with a little push and shove of his own. Table tipping should have been buried in the same grave as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - both of them were Victorian paranormal embarrassments.

The annoying thing for me is when they're in a supposedly haunted room, activity going on all around them, and the cameras are pointing at their faces.

And what's all this crap about 'somebody in Chorleton cum Sadly's light flickering at exactly the same time as Yvette farted'?

My lights flickered during The Simpsons for Christ's sake. :loopy:

Markham, I've found a new pastime when I'm watching Most Haunted Live. Log onto their website and try to come up with the most unbelieveable comment you can think of - something that no-one, surely , NO-ONE would believe, and post it onto the submissions section to see if they'll show it on screen.

It's great fun whilst the missus is putting the kettle on during the slow bits.

Next time you see "Ant from Sheffield says he's just seen Jamie Cullum breaking wind into a bowl of steamed broccolli on webcam 1", you'll know it's me.

Yeah

They had to do something to get some action into the program, otherwise it's just her wandering about saying she's cold and screaming. The table tipping has been introduced to show there realy is some paranormal activity going on :0)

Strange how it works every week though.

My dad can't get enough of most haunted, every time I get in from work all I can hear is the blue Yonder advert, so fast it's annoying. And Yvett Fielding really does my head in.

Yeah, this is a great idea - I'd love to see this. They don't use Matthew Smith enough, he's defo one of the more interesting members of the 'team', and they could really do with his calm, detached observing on some investigations.

He'd hopefully be able to get the others 'down off the ceiling' at times - the hysteria makes good telly for a while, but it's wearing very thin.

I thought it was serious viewing... from what people have told me it is...

I would say it does look real & can be serious at times especially when a spirits gets inside the guys body... (derek is it?) very interesting... although i have only seen it a couple of times...

Worth having a gander... :)

Ant
14-12-2004, 13:16
It's meant to be taken very seriously. But if you're just an occassional viewer who just tunes in for the odd ten minutes, I advise watching the live specials they air on Bank Holidays (there'll be one on New Years Eve, I'm sure). You'll fall into one of two groups: those who are astounded at Derek's paranormal powers and those who find the show side-splitingly funny.

uniB
14-12-2004, 14:47
Well the crowd seem to take it very seriously, when the level headed skeptic trys to make any comment they come close to stampeeding the stage with blunt weapons - it's like some kind of blind cult!

The last of this months live 3 dayer is on tonight at 9, if you have Living TV it's worth a laugh (and as it's the last day I'm sure Derek will be at his table wobbling best!)

Yeah, I think Derek has been getting some serious spirits inside his body... that's what makes him so funny.

I'm not saying people aren't scared by it, but people are scared by films too, and they don't believe those to be real... I just think it's entertainment, and can be really funny sometimes.

Most Haunted is THE best show around!!! I totally believe everything about it, but i would say like Karl I am an open minded sceptic, so i do tend to think about where the noises could have come from before i call it paranormal!!

I just think it is silly when people say the show is staged, because I watch loads of other shows and they pick up alot more things happening and if the people wanted to fake Most Haunted they would make more things happen other than the odd knock and everything to keep viewers interested!!

Plus their faces wen summert happens is totally real! You can just tell, Yvette is my idol an i would be so like her if i was to do her job!!!!

Whatever anyone says, Derek Acorah is NOT faking it, he it totally genuine and he does great on the show!!!!

saxon51
16-08-2005, 18:47
I hear what you are saying lauz, but in my eyes the team seem to be showing only the phenomena that cannot be proved or disproved. By that I mean sounds and orbs which could or could not be paranormal no matter how long you study them.

They enter a building which has a long history of supposed hauntings, they set up four webcams and they wander around all night.

What they don't seem to do is put cameras on objects which are known to move on their own. They also insist on having the hand-held cameras pointing at the crews' faces even when something is happening in the room.

For instance: In one episode a cradle which was reported to rock on its own on a regular basis was left unattended and ignored until it 'was heard to be rocking' and only then did the crew rush to the room only to find it had stopped.:loopy: Why wasn't a camera fixed on it all night?:suspect:

In another episode a particularly big orb was clearly a spider out of focus. You could clearly see its legs scrambling to climb up its thread. These are probably what all the other orbs are as well - if they're not dust, vapour or insects.

The table tipping sessions are a bit iffy as well. On all the ones I've seen where the camera views the table's contact with the floor, you've got to wonder how a four-legged table can 'tip' and still have the two diagonally opposite legs on the floor.:confused: Surely this happens only on an uneven floor, or if the table has uneven length legs. In either case, it wouldn't take much to make the table rock when half a dozen people are resting their hands on it.

And finally. How come when things are 'happening' around the crew their cameras always point at their faces until the 'happening' is over and only then do they scan the room?:suspect:

No, sorry, but to my eyes it is all one big dramatised con. I have still not seen any evidence of the paranormal - unless of course we include Fielding's facial expressions.:gag:

I am a regular viewer of Most Haunted, I think it is a great show but I think a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek.

Some of the places they have been too have been really really edge of your seat viewing though but mostly it is a bit dull and the same old same old at the minute.

I would like to see the MH team visit the prison where Gail Porter went on Dead Famous in the US, when they were looking for Harry Houdini.. that looks a genuinly scary place to look at.

I like Most Haunted, but it seems to have fallen into the same type of week after week same stuff... at first i thought it was brill but when you look back at the first series, they are no closer to finding anything different, its all the same orbs, shadows etc, theres no hard evidence, its all like a repeat....
i find it interesting but frustrating ... i want to see a bogeyman ;)

16-08-2005, 20:37
Thing is with most haunted,if they did capture a ghost,because it's pre recorded we would know about it months before,cos it would be all over the papers and the news!!
so not a deal of point watching really :D
Suppose the live shows could turn something up though.

Mr Purple
16-08-2005, 20:50
Ah its a great watch but its one program thats not to be taken seriously. I dont really believe or disbelieve in what they do but some of it is just nonesense. the orbs people notice are normally dust, spiders or the cameras focussing funny [we've got the same cameras and on nightshot you seee orbs everywhere]
There was one episode I saw and they turned on a TV so it was all fuzzy [no signal] and asked the 'spirits' to turn it off. now its unlikely a 300 year old ghost knows how to turn off a TV but after 2 minutes of asking the TV amazingly turned off! Amazing these standby functions on TVs when they dont get signal isnt it, its as if its turned off by magic...

Anyway great to watch I just cant take it too seriously.

I have always been a fan, and indeed still watch, so when I got the chance to see Derek live in a show in Scarbro' I was excited.

I was sadly disappointed he was obviously having an 'off' day and although I find him fascinating :love: I found him a real let down.

If I get the chance I will go and see him again to see if the mists have cleared!

The other half thinks it's a good program but I think it's a load of cobblers, nothing ever realy happens. The table tipping, I must admit, was about the only "proof" i've ever seen on the program.

Yvette realy gets on my nerves though running round shouting "did you hear that ?"

Nothing of any significance happened.

As for the derek thing,(as i posted on here a few weeks back) the team have lost faith in him and his abilities,also he doesn't actually work for antics (yvette and karls production company) he is under contract to living tv,hence his new show.

Most haunted??

Is derek Accorah a Spiritualist Medium????
If so, he is very good.
OR
Is Dereck Accorah an actor????
If so, He is very good.

I recently visited Bodmin Gaol before I had seen the episode they did there. I have to admit that the air felt very heavy in what they called the naval prison block but I heard no stones flying aroung, no "orbs" and saw no shadows. there are boards along the walls of the cells giving a brief history of who had been in that cell, what crimes had been committed and what fate the inmate found. These were taped with paper so it would be inpossible to read them. (YEAH!!!) the story of the lady dragging her dead son was there for all to read about. Where Derek was "possessed" by a ghost called Creed Kaifer there was a dark cell with nothing in it. It was pitch black. on the left hand wall there were some bricks missing and you can climb through into the next cell (the enterance to that cell blocked by a display). I took 3 pics with the flash surprisingly, nothing.

lauz
21-09-2005, 15:51
Yea i saw that Episode 2 but do you really think he would be able 2 c them in the pitch black????

If you watch Most Haunted extra you would know that Derek gets driven round the countryside till the driver gets the go ahead 2 bring him to the location. So while the team were setting up there would have beed no peeking at the notice boards, literally as soon as Derek arrives they start the day time walk around!

If he was an actor (which i don't think is true IMHO) then I don't think he would have time to look at the signs, read and remember every detail, its impossible!

Also if anyone has got the Most Haunted behind the scenes official guide book you would know that Yvette and Karl turned down offers to put Most Haunted on some broadcasters because they wanted to fake the show!!! (If you have got the book page 4 if you ain't GET IT!!!)

I believe everything on Most Haunted and i think they are all very brave especially Yvette cos i wouldn't do half the things she does!!!!

Very interesting - I look forward to watching the programme.

What does it mean, though, that Most Haunted catches its first ghost on camera once Derek Acorah's no longer part of the team? :suspect: (I'm assuming that as this must be fairly recent footage, Derek won't have been on that particular 'ghost-hunt')?

It was actually caught a while ago,while Derek was still part of the team,it was during an investigation in blackpool,i posted news of it quite a while ago,but they had to have the footage checked out apparently.

I used to watch most haunted every week until we swopped sky for freeview. I didnt watch the old ones on ftn when we got freeview and obviously couldnt watch the live ones either because livingtv isnt on freeview. Im mates with one of the ex-mediums on the show, Ian Lawman. Been to see him live when he did Famous & Frightened at Bolsover Castle earlier this year.

As for most haunted. When i first started watching it I used to LOVE watching it, but when i started to do more research into the stuff, i then started to see it as more of an entertainment show than a real investigation programme.

We have got sky back now, so if parents are watching it, i might too, if they dont, im not too fussed about it. Although the live ones are on next weekend, and more than likely the parents will be watching it so i might too.

SPOOKY TRUTH
TV'S MOST HAUNTED CON EXPOSED TV medium 'faked' being possessed by dead jailer
Producer hit soundman and pretended it was a ghost
By Matt Roper
THE TV show that has spooked millions with its footage of hauntings and
poltergeists is today exposed as a fake - by one its own stars.

Resident parapsychologist Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe has sensationally lifted the lid on
the ghosthunting series, Most Haunted ... and claims that the public are being
deceived by "showmanship and dramatics."

He accuses the show's medium Derek Acorah of hoodwinking viewers by pretending
to communicate with spirits and obtaining information about locations prior to
filming.

The Mirror has also obtained unedited footage which appears to show presenter
Yvette Fielding and her husband faking 'paranormal' occurrences such as ghostly
bumps and knocks.

Most Haunted has quickly achieved cult status since it was launched in 2002 and
is LivingTV's most successful programme.

Millions of viewers tune in regularly to watch Ex-Blue Peter girl Yvette and her
team of ghost hunters spend the night in some of Britain's most haunted
locations.

It has made Acorah - who claims to be guided by an Ethiopian spirit guide called
Sam - into one of the country's best-known psychics.


Tonight the show will start its biggest ever live vigil, a four-night Halloween
special from East London following the murderous trail of Jack the Ripper.


Yvette Fielding has said of the show - which is made by her husband Karl
Beattie's production company Antix Productions: "There is no acting in this
programme, none whatsoever. Everything you see and you hear is real. It's not
made up, it's not acted."


But our investigation reveals how the programme uses careful editing to mislead
viewers and, on at least one occasion, has even lied about the location of
filming.


Ciaran, a lecturer in the paranormal at Liverpool's Hope University, knows
speaking out will probably put an end to his media career... but he believes
viewers should know the truth.


He says: "I think it's time to open the dialogue about what I've experienced on
Most Haunted. There have been many incidents with the medium that have been
brushed under the carpet.


"I was put in the show to give a professional slant to it, to give it an element
of credibility, but the sceptical argument is just swept away.


"In my opinion, we're not dealing with genuine mediumship."


He says he isn't the only member of the crew who feels viewers are being
cheated.


"Other crew members have been irked by Derek and what's going on, because it
turns what should be a serious investigation into a laughing matter."


And our exclusive footage shows other members of the team occasionally forget
they are on camera.


One of our clips, later edited out, shows Karl push an unwitting sound man in
the dark and pretend it was a poltergeist attack.


In the remaining footage he says (after surreptitiously hitting the soundman):
"S**t, did you feel that?"


Yvette: Are you all right? What's happened?


Karl: I felt something touch me on my shoulder.


Soundman: I felt something hit me.


And in another edited clip with medium Ian Lawman, Yvette is seen on camera
making a deep sigh. In the scene that eventually went to air, Ian (after Yvette
sighs) says: "What's that noise?


Yvette: What noise? Like a moan?


Ian: Breathing or something.


Yvette: I heard like an 'arrggh'.


Ciaran, who joined Most Haunted in April 2004 became suspicious of Acorah's
antics on a shoot at Castle Leslie, Co Monaghan in Ireland where a 17th Century
four-poster bed has been claimed to levitate.


Ciaran recalls: "As we walked into the bedroom, Derek touched the bed and came
out with extremely accurate information.


"He insisted he got all the information just from touching the bed. But it was
the wrong bed."


Antix Productions claims the mediums have no idea where they will be filming or
know any details about the history of the locations.


But Ciaran says: "Derek must have had prior knowledge of the locations."


He devised a plan to see if Derek was deliberately deceiving the public.


While on a shoot at Bodmin gaol he invented a long-dead South African jailer
called Kreed Kafer - an anagram of Derek Faker.


"I wrote the name down and asked another member of the crew to mention it to
Derek before filming.


"I honestly didn't think Derek would take the bait. But during the filming he
actually got possessed by my fictional character!"


On the next shoot at Prideaux Place, Cornwall, Ciaran made up another fictional
character, highwayman Rik Eedles - an anagram of Derek Lies. Sure enough, Derek
made contact with the dead outlaw.


Ciaran says: "In my professional opinion we're not dealing with a genuine
medium.


"When Derek is possessed he is doing it consciously - all we are seeing is
showmanship and dramatics."


Ciaran went a step further at Craigievar Castle, near Aberdeen.


"I made up stories about Richard the Lionheart, a witch, and Richard's
apparition appearing to walk through a wardrobe - the lion, the witch and the
wardrobe!" True to form, Derek mentioned all Ciaran's stories - even though
Richard I reigned 500 years BEFORE Craigievar Castle was built.


The final straw came last month when Most Haunted presented a three-night
special from Manchester.


On the second evening, the show claimed to be broadcasting live from the site of
Cheadle's Victorian asylum, a place where - according to presenter David Bull -
thousands died in torment. In fact they were in the derelict remains of Barnes
Convalescence Home - where nobody died in torment.


Ciaran remembers: "Derek was communicating with spirits that sounded as if
they'd been in an asylum, but it was never an asylum."


Yesterday the Mirror confronted Derek Acorah with Ciaran's allegations. He told
us: "I've worked with Ciaran for many shows and he's got every right to say what
he says.


"However, it does shock and surprise me. Not only do I believe that I am a
genuine medium - I live my work 24 hours a day. If I thought that I wasn't a
true medium, I wouldn't work as one."


A spokesman for LivingTV said: "Ciaran O'Keeffe has worked as the programme's
official sceptic for 18 months and during this time has not brought any of his
concerns to our attention.


"LivingTV has not seen any of your filmed evidence, but will fully investigate
your claims."


Or is it an elaborate publicity stunt :suspect:

Here's a story for you...

My mum loves most haunted and one new years eve they came to york knavesmire (the racecourse) to look for the ghost of dick turpin.

She didn't manage to get tickets for the event so she watched it all live on tv and online.

Then she had the bright idea that my stepdad and herself would go down to the racecourse herself to see if she could see anything.

So off they went, wearing black capes, a flat cape and carrying a lantern that usually hangs in the shed. Blagged her way onto the knavesmire by saying it was her anniversary (which it is!) and set off through the snow.

So the chap had just been sent out to see if could see any ghostly happenings when who does he see in the background but my mum and step dad, capes flailing behind them!!!

Bloody hilarious. They interviewed them and it's even got onto the dvd. There's actually a vote online at the moment where you can vote for your favourite moment.

PLEASE VOTE FOR MY MUM!!!! :thumbsup: hilarious!

OOHH Most Haunted LIVE 2night. Can't wait the webcams will be on in abit! Oh and i read that article done by Ciaran O'Keeffe and OMG they should sack him! I am totally into Most Haunted but i think there are logical explanations for some things eg:

On the last live show Yvette was on her own in this place and she is hearing noises, like creaking on the floor beside her, and you can hear a "deep breath" near her. She never flinches, obviously didn't hear them and then someone tells her through her ear-piece about them, the audience have heard them. So she carries on and then she is about to go back to Dr. David Bull (live presenter) and you hear the noise once again, very loudly and you can hear the crowd jump in the background and David Bull also admits he jumped. David asks Yvette what that noise is and she replies "don't know". I know for a fact that it was the webcams moving, because they have mistaken this for paranormal before, I am sat watching the webcams for a full 3 hours while it is on and you can hea the same sound when they move!!! Later they did a vote where you could text in saying if you thought the noise was paranormal or not (it wasn't and there were no mention of it being the webcam) at the end they revieled that 98% thought it was paranormal and 2% thought it wasn't!!!! But thats the only time i KNOW it was fake!

As for what someone said about them using scripts, they do but only for Yvette's pieces to camera, as far as i know! And i can't wait till they show the episode where they have caught the spirit, that should be FAB!

Based on the revelations in the Mirror today it will be really interesting if they pass comment on it at all. To totally ignore it would surely give it more credibility.

Laughed my head off on the MH forum, Mr O'Keefe has practically had a fatwa put on him.:loopy:

I remember this happening live too! Brilliant tv! It was the resident sceptic at the time, Matthew somebody, that they sent out ghost-hunting at the racecourse to take the p*** out of him, and he was blooming scared when he saw these two mysterious figures!

Great stuff :thumbsup:

It's Dereks last few shows, i forgot!!!!

Well i think it should be good for Most Haunted to have a new medium, David Wells is fab, he gets most things spot on. But Derek is starting to lose it, I have to admit i think Ciaran was right on a few things though(in the article) because Derek always seems to go to the wrong painting for example so he must have prior knowledge on some things, i mean he could just go on the internet and look it up. Though i tried it once and i could only find out a few things about the place!

And i just HAVE to say i think Max was soo cute! I think he should take Dereks place!

But i'm suprised that Ciaran is still on the show! After what he said!!!!!

My boyfriend likes Most Haunted, so I'm forced to watch the odd episode too. I play a game where I owe him £1 for every time Derek says "lost their life" and he owes me £1 for every time Yvette says "did you hear that ?".
It just makes it a bit more fun.

lauz
30-10-2005, 10:47
GOOD IDEA! lol:thumbsup:

You would probably get more money if you got £1 everytime Derek mentions Sam! It's like you hear 'Sam' being mentioned every 2 seconds!

Ohh well it's Derek's last few shows now, i just wanna see what this Gordan Smith's like!

I use to love this program.But ever since saw one live show one time i belive now it is all a fix..And i have been watching this weekend and i noticed a change in yvette,ever since what Ciaran said in the papers she to me has got a lot brave towards derek now when he is "possesed".and also her face does looks mad towards him too when he says things,and she sucks up to ciaran bum like i never know.
It is good that Ciaran has spoken out now it is about time he spilled some truth in this matter.as i never belive in derek for one i just find him funny.And if they is a script in the show i wish who ever writes it please change yvetts words.as im so fed up of her "did you hear that" ..well answer is NO HAS YOUR BIG SCREMING MOUTH IS ALWAYS IN THE WAY.

30-10-2005, 11:02
I am TOTALLY mad about most haunted! As far as i know they have a script for Yvette's pieces to camera and thats it!

I am a bit undecided as to if Derek is the real thing! I think last night on the live show (night 2) when Derek got posessed, Yvette was deffinatly trying to catch him out with "What road are we on?" and "..are you a nigerian man, speak in nigerian!" all Derek could come out with was 'GO' and 'F**k', then he collapsed!!!

I seriously hate Ciaran now i have put his picture up on the dart board lol. It's his job to look at things in a logical way but i think it's up to you if you believe or not, i believe, but that dosen't mean to say you have to! Thats just my opinion, and the people who have sided with Ciaran saying they want to take the show off air obviously don't believe it. There is no point in taking it off the air it's not like people are getting forced to watch it!!!

sorry i feel very strongly about this and i really doin't want it to be taken off air!!!!

Personally think that MH is total rubbish but unfortunately the kids love it.

However was watching the first series of Phoenix Nights last night with the offspring and it suddenly occured to us that Derek Akorah is based on that famous psychic and medium
Clinton Baptiste!

:hihi: That is class as we also think this too.
But derek has got to to be fake.i seen other live show's the one in a army place,and again he became "the spirit of that person",soon as they asked what plane he flyed and he was asked a few times.derek was always saying other words to try to get out of it, like last night he could not answer the question.and also when they did the board trying to contact the elephant man,derek was the only one to know "apart from yvette as she hear what was said" that knew who this person was.but soon as he took his fingers off the glass and asked question's was not ever answerd.
And as for "iam brave yvette for swearing and shouting in the air" i hope one day something will pop down and knock her out,who she think she is.she screams and runs at the little noise as it is.

I used to love "Most Haunted" and really look forward to it, but I can hardly be bothered with it now, it's all so predictable and parts of it are so obviously fake.

It was genuinely gripping in the early days before the team fell into a routine - they seemed to have an enthusiasm for the show that I think they've lost now. There was an air of genuine excitement, whereas today it's all formula.

I really hate it when fakery is involved in these sorts of programmes, because there are things happening that can't be explained, but when trickery is taking place, it gives the whole thing a bad name, and people can then just dismiss events/happenings that are truly inexplicable.

I found last year's "Most Haunted Live" at Pendle to be really quite frightening in places - there was the sense that anything could happen, and there seemed to be real fear and tension in the air. I actually jumped at a number of points, and I remember one time I couldn't wait for the adverts to get out of the way so we could get back to the action.

Compare that with the last 2 or 3 Live shows :rolleyes: It's really just got embarrassing. That time down in the mine when Derek got pulled off into a corridor by a spirit :rolleyes: Or the time when Karl and Stuart had that so-inept-I'm-embarrassed-for-you-both pretend fight :rolleyes: - give me strength! Livingtv and the advertisers must really be pressing them for drama.

No doubt they're building up to some big climax to finish the Live show on a high note, but really - does anyone care any more? It's not the programme it was, sadly. :(

Tonights episode at 9pm

Lower Southwood Cottage, Devon Built between 1600 - 1640

In 2003, the owners came downstairs and found the whole of the first floor in utter disarray. They tidied up and went back upstairs. When they came down again, they found it had happened again. But they never heard the furniture being moved.

* Computers have been found on and running, even when they weren't plugged in.
* The cats have been found in locked rooms.
* Chairs have been moved out onto the landing.
* Knives have been taken out and stuck into the bread board.
* The owners believe that there's the ghost of a little girl present - children's toys often go missing. Some are returned some never are.
* The owner bumped into someone but there was no-one there and visitors have been 'touched' or 'pinched' by an unknown force.
* Extreme cold spots are felt throughout the building.
* There is a Collie that is sometimes seen running with their 2 dogs.
* Figures have been seen in the outside mirror.
* The Shetland pony was once found in a stable with another horse - the stable was bolted from the outside, tricky for a horse to do.
* The figure of a girl has been seen sitting in the garden.


In Cottage 1

Bedroom

* The coffee table has been turned upside down.
* DVDs have been found having been taken out of the cupboard.
* Figures are regularly seen from here moving across the house towards the bathroom.


Bathroom

* The owners keep a Tupperware box full of medicine in the bathroom - it disappeared and was found a few days later, in the fridge.
* They once went into the bathroom to find everything had been tipped into the bath.


Dining Room

* Singing is often heard in here.
* Orbs have been seen with the naked eye.


Upstairs

* Cold spots are often felt on the staircase.


Main Bedroom

* Both Penny and previous tenants have regularly seen a nice old lady in here, she pokes her head round the bedroom doors, as if she's checking everyone.
* Figures have been seen going through the room to the old fireplace.


Small Bedroom

* People often feel threatened in here, as though someone is looking over the bed and the windows are often found open.


Cottage 2

* Footsteps are often heard on the landing, as is someone's voice, muttering.


Kitchen

* People feel as though they are being watched.


Sitting Room

* An ex-boyfriend of one of the family was sleeping in here and thought he saw an RAF uniform in the fireplace - the next morning he was told him that the RAF had been stationed here during the war.
* A figure has been seen sitting in the chair in the sitting room.


Play Room

* A family member was sleeping in here once and awoke to find someone staring at him.


Stairs

* The cottage was gutted by fire in 1992, there was a bag of hay on these stairs that was completely untouched.


Main bedroom

* Lots of people feel very uneasy in this room

There you go, now you don't have to watch :hihi:

I thought Gordon was FAB too!!! Derek was just too fake and had to be asked to get information, and even when he is it is either wrong or he ignores it and moves on! Gordon and David just come out with information, and most of the time its right!

And did you know Gordon is known for his accuracy with dates and information that he don't know and has no way of finding out!

I also thought it was really sweet when David was really deep in a sort of trance, and Gordon got up to help him and give him energy! They are both FAB and the show is better with Gordon! And i believe they both deffinatly have spiritual talents!

You would think though if they had "concrete" evidence of a ghost it would have been all over the news.

If it's good enough for "dessa" it's good enough for most haunted :D

Yes i watched this tonight as it was said that tonight will be when we see concrete evidence of a ghost,I like to know were was the face they was on about.no matter what side you veiwd it from i could not see a face.Just looked like a blob of smoke to me.I was getting excited about it when i hear about this a few weeks back.Were they was talking about a ghost sighting first on tv i was thinking it would have been more person like and not a cloud of smoke.

:suspect: pathetic. Carl Beattie kacking his knickers over a floaty cobweb type thingy. If that was a ghost Im a monkeys uncle.

I saw no face.

have you noticed aswell that the investigation time is very short this series. They spend half the show doing lit walkabouts and telling us about all the 'phenomena' that has occured and then when the lights go out ..nothing!

:suspect:

Yeah, I thought it was just a particularly thick bit of cobweb :suspect:

Did anyone notice? Did Karl and the other bloke (Stuart?) have a look round on the floor afterwards, for some physical evidence? I can't remember seeing them do this on the prgramme, and was a bit surprised they didn't.

All very disappointing anyway..... I was really looking forward to seeing the footage of the supposed 'ghost'

Yeah I too was disappointed with the footage and thought "well is that it" when they had MH extra on after I actually fell asleep.

If anyone in the team, or the people who assessed the footage actually saw a face, you'd think they'd have indicated the various features they saw in it.

About a second after the 'U' shaped piece floated past, there was a thinner, paler piece to the left which appeared to snag - momentarily - on the lens.

Bloody cobwebs........spooky, aren't they!!!!:suspect:

If that was it then it wernt very interesting!!
I saw a face but that was it it could just have been a bug or summert going past at high speed!

But then i suppose that is the closest they have got to getting a FULL apperition on camera!

And is anyone watching it LIVE? Gordon is FAB but that new presenter OMG he is soooo crap! He talks like a robot lol

OMG did any one c Most Haunted LIVE, night 3 was the best when they were trying to get down that small passage way and all you could see was Yvette's bottom. I thought that was SSSOOOO funny!!!!!

And the whol Karl thing, where he acted in that place about 30 odd years ago to that exact day and saw the ghost of Les who they got in cantact with i thought that was really cool!!!!

One thing i wanted to know was, why did Jon Dibley (camera man) ask the ghost of Les to 'grab his B****X ?????????? =p

He was just trying to liven the evening up a bit :P

Trying to provide some light relief :suspect:

Goodness knows the show needed it - it really does drag a bit without Derek to provide the entertainment.

Without Derek's regular performances, no wonder I've been falling asleep whilst watching MHL.

Anyone watch Derek's Ghost Towns series ?

I watched it once, i was getting into it and then they were visiting somewhere else:suspect:
I just think it's too much like Most Haunted, Derek still says everything like he used to like 'give me a name Sam' but instead of saying 'you know what Yvette' it's 'you know what Daniella' SSOOOO cheesey

And yea i no wot you mean about the new presenter I CAN'T STAND HIM!!!!!!!! I get really annoyed like i want to say it for him lol

Rather that concentrating on one place they jump from place to place, not sure that Daniella is the right one to co-present with him though, cant believe I used to fancy her at one time before she got into drugs :gag:

Any one have any ideas?????????????

I watch it every once inawhile when nothing else is on, but other than that, not really. I'm in America so it comes on at 9pm on Fridays.
I have to admit, most of it is pretty childish, but it has its moments when its as freaky as hell if you have all the lights out. Now, most of the stuff does seem to be little noises and moving furniture, but there are those rare ones.
On one of them they're in an attic and you see a book go right from a shelf at is flung at them. Another when Stewart supposedly gets the crap beat outa him, and that looked sorta convincing.
Depends on how you take it

Julian Clegg is the only decent presenter on Most Haunted Live, he actually has his own breakfast show on BBC Radio Solent.

Entertainment thats all it is,and not very good at that.

To sit and watch grown adults going ooh ahh at the clap trap that unfolds before them in amazing.

The creators of this must laugh their rocks off at the sight of these sad individuals shelling out cash for the mercandise ect....

Sooner watch Scooby Doo myself
